Twins Secure Walk-Off Win Over Red Sox After Rain Delay

The Minnesota Twins secured a dramatic 5-4 walk-off victory over the Boston Red Sox on Monday night in Minneapolis after a 90-minute rain delay disrupted the bottom of the ninth inning. The Twins overcame a late Red Sox lead, with Brooks Lee delivering a crucial two-run single off Boston reliever Jordan Hicks, who struggled after the delay, hitting two batters and allowing the winning hit. DaShawn Keirsey Jr. contributed significantly with a two-run homer and a game-tying single, while Christian Vázquez and Royce Lewis also drove in runs for Minnesota. Boston's Alex Bregman hit a three-run homer in the fifth inning, continuing his hot streak, but the Red Sox bullpen faltered late, compounded by injuries and a taxing travel schedule. The game featured notable moments like Roman Anthony's go-ahead RBI single for Boston in the ninth and a strong start from Twins pitcher Simeon Woods Richardson despite giving up three earned runs. The victory snapped a two-game skid for Minnesota and came on the same day they traded starting pitcher Chris Paddack to the Detroit Tigers.
